Get into HE

www.GetIntoHE.org.uk External Link

This free resource contains web-based modules which have been developed by the University of Derby and Derby City Council in partnership with Aimhigher and Derby City schools.

 

The modules are aimed at Year 12/Year 1 students but are relevant for all 14-19 year olds. They will raise awareness of Higher Education and the issues surrounding it and are particularly appropriate for students with no family history of progression into HE.

 

The modules are innovative and offer a new approach to teaching and delivering guidance regarding progression into HE.
